Hi Reddit. I'm Senator Bernie Sanders. I'll start answering questions at 2 p.m. ET. The most important election of our lives is coming up on Tuesday. I've been campaigning around the country for great progressive candidates. Now more than ever, we all have to get involved in the political process and vote. I look forward to answering your questions about the midterm election and what we can do to transform America.

Update: Let me thank all of you for joining us today and asking great questions. My plea is please get out and vote and bring your friends your family members and co-workers to the polls. We are now living under the most dangerous president in the modern history of this country. We have got to end one-party rule in Washington and elect progressive governors and state officials. Let’s revitalize democracy. Let’s have a very large voter turnout on Tuesday. Let’s stand up and fight back.

In my view, the younger generation is the most progressive generation in the history of our country. They are leaders in the fight against sexism, racism, homophobia, religious bigotry, and discrimination. They also understand, even though Trump does not, that climate change is very real and has to be addressed. This younger generation, will have a lower standard of living than their parents if we don’t turn the economy around and create jobs that pay decent wages. I have talked to too many college graduates who are earning 10 or 11 bucks an hour - and that is not acceptable. Further, millions of young people have left school deeply in debt and are struggling hard to pay off those debts. Low wage jobs and high debt makes for a difficult existence. My hope is, that young people in response to these issues will become increasingly involved in the political process and stand up for their rights. The young people can turn this country around if they run for office, if they vote and if they get involved. I very much hope they will.

All of you know that when we began this campaign a little over a year ago we were considered to be a fringe campaign. But over the last year, I think that has changed just a little bit.

As of today, we have won 22 state primaries and caucuses with over 11 million votes. What is most extraordinary to me is that in virtually every single state, we have won in big numbers the votes of young people.

Young people understand that they are the future of America, and they intend to help shape that future. I am enormously optimistic about the future of our country when so many young people have come on board and understand that our vision, a vision of social justice, economic justice, racial justice, and environmental justice, must be the future of America.

Our campaign from day one has understood some very basic points, and that is first, we will not allow right-wing Republicans to control our government. That is especially true with Donald Trump as the Republican candidate. The American people in my view will never support a candidate whose major theme is bigotry, who insults Mexicans, who insults Muslims and women and African-Americans. We will not allow Donald Trump to become president of the United States.

But we understand that our mission is more than just defeating Trump. It is transforming our country. The vast majority of the American people know that it is not acceptable that the top tenth of 1 percent owns as much wealth as the bottom 90 percent; we’re going to change that. When millions of Americans are working longer hours for lower wages, we will not allow 57 percent of all new income to go to the top 1 percent. We will end a corrupt campaign finance system.

Democracy is not about billionaires buying elections. We will end a broken criminal justice system. We will break up the major banks on Wall Street. We will join the rest of the industrialized world and guarantee health care to all people as a right. We will bring about real immigration reform and a path toward citizenship. We will tell the billionaire class and corporate America that they will start paying their fair share of taxes.

What we understand, and what every one of us has always understood, is that real change never occurs from the top on down, always from the bottom on up.

That is the history of America, whether it is the creation of the trade union movement, the civil rights movement, the women’s movement, the gay movement. And that is what OUR movement is about.

But you all know it is more than Bernie Sanders. It is all of us together. That is what this movement is about: millions of people from coast to coast standing up and looking around them and knowing that we can do much, much better as a nation.

Whether Wall Street likes it, whether corporate America likes it, whether wealthy campaign contributors like it, whether the corporate media likes it, together we know what our job is. It is to bring the American people together to create a government that works for us, not the 1 percent.

Next Tuesday, we continue the fight. We are going to fight hard to win the primary in Washington, D.C. And then we take our fight for social, economic, racial, and environmental justice to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

I am pretty good at arithmetic, and I know that the fight in front of us is a very, very steep fight, but we will continue to fight for every vote and every delegate we can get. Last night I had a very kind call from President Obama and I look forward to working with him to ensure that we move this country forward. And last night, I also had a very gracious call from Secretary Clinton and congratulated her on her victories.

Our fight is to transform our country and to understand that we are in this together. It is to understand that all of what we believe is what the majority of the American people believe. And it is to understand that the struggle continues.

If this campaign has proven anything, it has proven that millions of Americans who love this country are prepared to stand up and fight to make this country a much better place.

The last 11 months have been extraordinary. When this campaign started, we were down by 40, 50 or 60 points in some of the polls, and I was called a “fringe candidate.” Well, a lot has changed in the past year. They aren’t calling our campaign “fringe” anymore. We have won 15 contests and came very close to winning in four others.

That is incredible progress. I don’t think anyone expected us to have as much success as we have had so early on, and we proved the political and media establishment wrong because of your work. Our message is resonating with millions of Americans — people who have finally had enough, and are ready to stand up and say our democracy and our economy belong to all of us and not just a handful of wealthy people on top.

All of you coming together is why, as of this morning, we have raised more than $100 million dollars in the last few months. And we’re doing it with small contributions, not by going around to fancy fundraisers with millionaires and billionaires. Just in the month of January, we raised over $20 million. And then in February, we doubled it by raising $43.5 million.

As of this morning, we have raised $40 million in March. We need to beat our record once again, and we’re going to need your help to do it. If we can beat our February total by midnight tonight, it would send an unmistakable message to the media and the political establishment: we are going to win this campaign and the White House.

EDIT: To my supporters across the country: I have a special message, just for you...Here it is on Facebook and Twitter

First, I want to challenge you to help our campaign hit a goal that will absolutely astonish the political and financial establishment of this country. It’s a bit of a stretch, but it’s within the spirit of this campaign to accomplish what everyone else thinks is impossible. That’s why I need to ask you: give $2.70 before midnight.

Second, I am asking for your help to get out the vote. Tomorrow, voters in 11 states will have the chance to vote for me on Super Tuesday. Momentum is on our side, and with your help, we can win the Democratic nomination and the White House. This is where you come in. After helping out with your contribution, I’d like for you to help get the word out to your friends and family using social media.

Today, starting at 2pm EST I am asking all my supporters to use #SuperMonday to get out the vote for our campaign and to reach our FEC deadline fundraising goal. Head to berniesanders.com/SuperMonday Don’t stop until midnight.

At the bottom of every email we’ve sent since the start of this campaign, it says "Paid for by Bernie 2016." And beneath those words, it says "(not the billionaires)." Remember: this campaign is powered by people like you, "not the billionaires." Thank you for all of your help.

My first effort would be to rally the American people to demand that Congress pass a progressive agenda which reverses the decline of our middle class. We have got to create millions of decent-paying jobs rebuilding our infrastructure, we've got to raise the minimum wage to a living wage, we've got to overturn this disastrous Citizens United Supreme Court decision and we have to transform our energy system in order to protect us from climate change. If the American people are politically active and demand that Congress act on their behalf, we can accomplish those goals and much more.

I voted against the war in Iraq and I voted against the first Gulf War. I am strongly opposed to sending American combat troops into Iraq and Syria. At the end of the day, the war against ISIS will only be won when the Muslim countries in the area fully engage and defeat ISIS and other groups that are distorting what Islam is supposed to be about. The United States and other western countries should be supportive of the efforts of those governments, but cannot lead them. The nightmare, which I believe a number of Republicans want to see, is perpetual warfare in the quagmire of the Middle East.
